Ok I undertand. I need to change it and work on the last version, 
because I successfully done a ping command after corrected alignment 
problems, but I have troubles during FTP transfers. I had TX timeout 
messages or something like that.
I am sure I will have no problem with the last version.

Tomorrow I get the last version on the git tree, and I try to backport 
it on my kernel.
